Editorial Reviews

Twice chosen by the International Film Critics Symposium as one of the best ten films of all times. On the eve of collectivization in Ukraine, an old farmer dies peacefully in bed. His grandson Vasil has a new vision - the village council will buy a tractor to be shared among the farmers. Struggling against superstition, rich land owners and nature itself, Vasil is ulimately the victim of a tragic murder, but the dawn brings forth a new life and the promise of prosperity to the poor village. This story itself is secondary to the visually stunning and incredibly moving images that Dovzhrnko creates. Language is Ukrainian with English Subtitles
